[TowerTalk] Tribander Spacing

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Assuming you meant a second C-3, I did extensive modeling of pairs of 
C-3s back in the late 90's when I put my stack up.  There was an NCJ 
article, but if you like I can try to dig up the manuscript here.

I wound up with C-3Es at 97 and 69 feet. It's too wide for the best 10m 
pattern and not wide enough for optimum on 20, but it worked out to be 
the best overall compromise.  I would have put up a third antenna at 
around 35 feet, but the tower would have been marginal.

Your case will depend on local terrain, and on take-off angle data for 
your part of the country. HFTA modeling will give you figures of merit 
for various paths that you can use to reach the best compromise, given 
your location and, perhaps, the prospects for 10M in the next cycle.

73, Pete N4ZR
